Big dog got in my way!
The other day early morning while still dark on my way to work I was driving in an area where there was no street light poles and out of no where this dog just gets in my way, not enough time to stop so I hit him. Sounded really loud noise I pull over to check on my front end to see any damage and this was what I found. Picture is from when I got to work. I'll keep updates on the repairs

Glad you okay and hopefully the dog too.
It looks like the hood is probably done. Is the bumper / kidney grill in tact?

I hit a baby deer while driving around the hills near my house to take photos of my car. I slowed enough and avoided it so that I only really bumped it with my right corner of the front bumper. Got out to check and there was no damage at all, deer was motionless and I was too scared to get close. Poor fella picked the wrong time to jump out of the bushes. Did my best to avoid it though.

The insurance covered arround half, still in process to get the remaining. But yes i was surprized with the damage even thought i wasnt going so fast (maybe 60 to 80 km/h)

Sometimes we all wish animals would be smarter and not get in the way. But thats the first thing they do is get in the way and sometimes ending up getting kill in the street
